DAY #2 @ MBFWA

Day 2 saw another talented & action packed day ahead with KARLA SPECTIC, GINGER & SMART, FLANNEL, TALULAH, JAYSON BRUNSDON, FROM BRITTEN, MATICEVSKI, MANNING CARTEL, KAHLO, AJE, KATE SYLVESTER......Another eleven of Australia's BEST & top designers & no disappointment at all on day 2....
But my absolute favourites were as follows....

Ginger & Smart presented a geometric SS13/14 collection & staying true to their visual aesthetic, vivacious patterns and graphical colours were a key trend as well as high waisted cropped pants, block colours & exposed midriffs. the colour palette consists of Cobalt blue, pink salmon, emerald greens,black & white combo...Architectural elements were featured in the formof rectangle-shaped bags, leather cuffs & platform heals....


 



One of my all time young Australian ( Brisbane based ) label was & is Talulah.....The SS 13/14 collection featured on day 2 was incredible display of pastel colours that was describes as being almost edible..The cut-out back trend was carried out through the collection also, executed with an understated felinity & long, loosely floaty fabrics.
I have always loved the femininity of Talulah & they never disappoint. Lets just say next spring summer is going to be soft, pretty, fun & celebrate all this beautiful. 







Manning Cartell; this sister trio Gabrielle, Vanessa & Cheryl Manning are always & will be in my top 4 for day 2 as i always remember the first pair of leather pants i owned from this label...LOVE it & them....The innovative fabrics of colour, textures & prints were integral to this collection..This collection captured the ethos of the brand "the subtle mix between polished & undone" this collection featured graphic lines, tribal polish with a mix of that urban cool & edgy. 



AJE a was a top 2 I would say....Designer duo Edwina Robinson & Adrian Norris titled the show Garden of yesterday, inspired by their own yesteryears. With Cherry blossoms hanging from the high ceilings of the Theatre...The Blossom echoed their prints in dusky pinks & pale greens, wile other elements were sand, shells & the colours of birds... they certainly lived up the their catch cry "Our essence is nonchalant glamour for both day & night time, which you can wear right through"......loved every moment of it...





Spectacular second day @ MBFWA & such a celebration of all this feminine & beautiful..Thank you Lisa Law photography of style hunter.com for the stunning Talulah images....
With Love EH xo
